Fluke Networks is launching CertiFiber Max, the industry’s first third-generation optical loss test set (OLTS) designed to meet the growing demands of high-density data center environments.
Built on the trusted Versiv platform and integrated with LinkWare, CertiFiber Max enables technicians to certify up to 24 fibers in under one second, according to the company.
As fiber density increases and performance margins tighten; driven by AI, cloud, and next-generation digital infrastructure, contractors face mounting pressure to test and certify complex fiber systems quickly and accurately.
CertiFiber Max addresses these challenges with delivering faster testing, greater accuracy, and long-term flexibility through field-replaceable UniPort adapters, the company said.
These offer native support for 12, 16, and 24 multi-fiber push-ons (MPO) as well as 16 and 24 MMCs (very small form factor multi-fiber connectors), including both pinned and unpinned configurations as data center architectures continue to evolve.
UniPort adapters connect directly to a wide range of current and emerging connector types, protect tester ports from damage, and enable easy upgrading and replacement in the field extending the tester’s lifecycle, maintaining reliability in demanding schedules, and helping contractors avoid costly equipment replacement as fiber counts and standards continue to evolve, the company said.
“As AI reshapes datacenters and the digital infrastructure they depend on, the margin for error in fiber networks is diminishing,” said Vineet Thuvara, chief product officer at Fluke Corporation. “CertiFiber Max reflects our belief that trust in datacenter operations starts at the physical layer. Built on the proven Versiv platform trusted by thousands of certified technicians for more than a decade, it delivers native 24-fiber support giving teams the confidence to deploy and certify the high-density networks powering AI and cloud technologies at scale.”
Designed for high-efficiency workflows in dense fiber environments, the solution measures loss, length, and polarity across multiple fibers in under a second while ensuring greater accuracy through the standards-recommended and manufacturer-preferred one-jumper reference method.
